How do you even get back to the backed-up save without deleting a current save? Not really feasible because you cannot choose back-ups, and restoring the back-up essentially overwrites the current save, if the game even lets you do it.

I really don't see the point of multiple save files in a pokemon game.

very very easy.

I have Pokemon White at home (for lack of x/y release). My Brother came to my place for visit and sees my 3DS lying around with Pokemon inside. I tell him, that I still need 10 minutes to to shower and whatever. So he decides to play Pokemon, something he hasn't done since Gen 1. He starts the game. I tell him, that there is only one savefile so he shouldn't overwrite my data. He says:

"15 years have passed and they still haven't included a second savestate?"

So instead of starting where I last played (somewhere postgame hatching some eggs), he just closed the 3DS and turned the TV on. I agree with him. No point in starting a game in the middle/end of a story.

Also I'd love to do Nuzlocke, but I am definitely not deleting my Pokemon for that. And I am definitely not buying another game for that as well. (I looked up how much ebay asks for Fire red, and in no way am I paying 30 bucks for a 5+ year old game (I'd have to buy a GBA as well) [because I want to do a Kanto Nuzlocke])
